Leverage (TV)

Thanks to iamsab and dremiel for setting me up with DVDs! (The latter didn't play in my laptop, unfortunately, but maybe they will elsewhere.) I've seen the pilot and episodes 6-10, but don't worry about spoilers. This doesn't seem to be a show based around surprise

I haven't seen the show yet myself, although several friends are fangirling it rather heavily -- actor Christian Kane is apparently of mixed white/Cherokee descent and I've seen a few interviews where he identifies as Indian, although from what I've heard his character isn't being presented as anything but white so far.

Thanks, I didn't know that. If it's gotten into Elliot's ancestry at all, it was in episodes I missed.

They have not talked about Eliot's ancestry, but his only real nod to backstory has been an ex-girlfriend in one episode. There's been no talk of his home/family at all.

All the better for those of us desperately looking for cool NDN characters (or, really, ANY characters at all...) on the telly to be able to imagine the character's mixed, too, then!

(Yeah, I know, it's pathetic to be so grateful for media crumbs...but even the crumbs come along so rarely, and at least this serving of crumbs is pretty damn hot...)

I would hit Christian Kane like the fist of an angry god. And just from the feel of the show, I suspect they'll have Eliot mixed or just not mention it at all. You win!
